  "summary": "The WNBA has announced its 2026 All-Rookie team, which includes Olivia Miles (Minnesota Lynx), Azzi Fudd (Dallas Wings), Flau’jae Johnson (Seattle Storm), Sydney Taylor (Chicago Sky), Pauline Astier (New York Liberty), and Kiki Rice (Toronto Tempo). The team was expanded to six members after rookie Kiki Rice and Pauline Astier received an equal number of media votes, resulting in the additional slot. Notably, Azzi Fudd, the No. 1 overall pick, appeared in 30 regular-season games before suffering a season-ending knee injury, while Olivia Miles, the No. 3 pick, led the Minnesota Lynx to the best record in the league and set numerous records in her rookie campaign.",
